Giants Sweep Tigers In Route To 2nd World Series Title In 3 Years

3rd baseman Pablo Sandoval took home the 2012 World Series MVP. During the Giants Game 1 victory over Detroit in San Francisco, he hit 3 home runs off Justin Verlander. From that point on the Tigers couldn't catch the Giants. San Francisco won Game 4 in extra innings to finish off the series at Comerica Park. The Giants after trailing the Cardinals 3-1 during the NLCS closed that series winning 3 straight. SF then went on to win 4 in a row, including World Series shutouts in Game 2 and 3, to finish the season winning straight. Credit the Giants defense and pitching, they shut down Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera the AL Triple Crown winner. Detroit swept the Yankees in the ALCS and now know the feeling in the Fall Classic. Manager Bruce Bochy of San Francisco has won another championship with a lineup that is nearly as different as the one in 2010.
